Changing Gears, After Children

Dear Dr. Laura,

Now that I have children, I decided that I needed to revise the definitions of some of my favorite hobbies. I just wanted to share my new and improved way of thinking.

• Sleeping in: Sleeping until 7am

• Being out late: Staying out past 9pm

• Me time: Sleeping or using the bathroom...without kids

• Fun: peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek

• Appropriate conversation topics: Poopy diapers and vomit

• Acceptable clothing for shopping: anything that fits

• Housework: Clean enough to have a healthy and safe environment for my family

• Favorite section to shop: Little girls clothes!!

• Love: I love my husband more than I thought possible as I see him excel at fatherhood! I love my children in a way I didn't think I was cable of!

Enjoy!

Jane
